Feedwater Ltd joins the Good Business Charter
Feedwater Ltd is delighted to announce it has joined companies such as Unilever, TSB and Aviva in signing up to the Good Business Charter (GBC), an accreditation that seeks to raise the bar on business practices for employees, tax, the environment, customers and suppliers.
It has never been more important for businesses to regain trust and show they care about more than just profit.
The Good Business Charter exists for all companies, charities and public sector organisations across all industries and sectors and works through a simple online self-certification process. At a time when people are caring more about who they work for and who they buy from, the Good Business Charter offers a straightforward accreditation which recognises organisations which prioritise and care for their employees, the environment, customers and suppliers, whilst also paying their taxes according to the spirit of the law. The GBC and its members seek to inspire many other businesses to follow suit.
The Good Business Charter has the support of both the CBI and the TUC which both have trustee representation on its board. Other partners of the GBC include the Living Wage Foundation and the Prompt Payment Code. The GBC has been set up by a charity called the Good Business Foundation and accreditation will be free for all companies in the first year.
Chairman of the GBC board, Simon Fox, said:
“The Good Business Charter brings together 10 standards, most of which already exist, but in separate places. We have brought them together to give a coherent overall position for businesses to aspire to. We believe that the GBC has enormous potential to change business practice for good. We hope that because of its simplicity and cost effectiveness, it will quickly gain support.”
John Devenny Managing Director of Feedwater Ltd, said:
“We are proud to receive The Good Business Charter accreditation, we at Feedwater have always had the ethos of behaving responsibly in the way we do business, and the way we treat all of our stakeholders. The Good Business Charter encapsulates that culture and demonstrates our commitment to honourable and sustainable business practice.”
